lvANHoR AND RRRRccA.

| ANANttuS MCNkutN, NS uc tAN at HIS boarding house with sprsined ankle and a split finger, Rebceca Roscnhaum was surprised at the keen sensation ot pleasure she experienced in the pres- ence of the wounded first baSeman, writes Charles Dennis in tho lndian- apoliS .loH10L As she telfhis pulse and placed her cooling fingers upon his brow there was a softncsS in her touch. Her voice ial;erVd as slie in quircd after his health, her hand tremblea, and it WAS only the Qucs- tion of lvanhoe: "lS it th9re yez are, Rebccca?" which recalled her 10 her , self, and reminded her ot the scnS,- tion> sine irit were not ami coa!d not be mutual.
 X great shout rose from the base ball park. "Arrah, now" he said, "if could only get myself to ie windy that moight see the game. If l could make but single base hit.
 "Don't boddah," answered Rebecca, the noise is away gone and maybe aa; game is off"
 "Chayse it." exclaimed ivanhQe, impaticntly: "what We have heard was nothin' but the row from the grand stand and the racket from the bleaching boards, Wait till the b'ys go to the bat. Would that could r'ach the windy. De now pitcher, Shrcycs, plays to-day"
 "Thou wilt but injurc thy self by the attempt" said Rebecca "l my self will stand at the lattice and describe to you what Is passing"
 "Divil q bit," exclaimed lvanhoe !; "a hot liner from Seery, or Glasscock, or Mcyers"-

 "Rehccca, dear Rcbccca," exclaimed Ivanhoc, this is no maidcn's pastime Cover thy face at last wid wonder visor, as Jerry Denny may have on his batting togs today"
 The maiden with tolerablc securely to herself could witness from the window most of what was passing in the ball park. Indeed, the tele- graph poles in front of the house had long been fhvorite roosts for the boys of the neighborhood from which to view the game.
 Dot grand stand is crowded init speetators," Sid Rcbccca, "und ,las vas you call it?-pleaching board Is fit oop.'
 "lt's great game" said the invalid. with a sigh, "an' if our b'ys does 'cnl up i'll make 'cm moighty solid, an donchcr forget it. What ,lost tllou see, RcbeccaE"
 "Not'ing but n gloud of dust fly ing 90 dick as 10 shut of mine eycsight. "
 "il .h" exclaimed the wounded lvanhoc "thot's George Myers gcttin' round de bases. Look for the cap tain, and see how he bears himself, for as the leader k so will his followers be-"
 'l scc him not, said ltcbcccn
 "t oul craven" exclaimed Ivnnhoc, docs bc blcnch from the bat?"
 He plenchcs not, he plcnchcs not = said Rcbecca. "l see him now. Front de Brouthcrs mutfs his hit to Rowe. and Seery scores"
 She turned her head from the lat. ticc, as if unable longer to endure the sight.
 Look forth again. Rebccca." said Ivauhoe; "look again there is less danger"
 She uttered a loud -hriek "IIc k down. He is down."
 Who is down?" cried ivanioc. "For our dear St. Patrick's sake fell me who has fallen.
 "Myers,' said the maiden "But no he slides-hc reaches the home plate. He scores riin"
 A moment later there k great shout. "They win! They win" "cx- claimed Rcbccca
 "Who win?" asked Ivanhoc, with bated breath. Quick, maiden, answer me"
 -Four 10 onc,' said Kebecca, as tie shouts continued.
 Drive me not mad" pleaded the wounded batstnan "who win?"
 "T'hc De"
 "Hahw

 Ivanhoe raised himself upon his el- bow, his eyes glittering with excite ment. Another and prolonged shout came from the ball park
